Here's a Cayman Island map, courtesy of Google Inc, which really gives you the opportunity to look at the island in fine detail. One other place you can get an interactive map of Grand Cayman is the
Cayman Activity Guide
site -- just navigate to their 'Maps' page. The guide is a great tool when you're on the island as it comes with discounts for pretty well everything.
At the very tip, at the northernmost point, is Boatswain Bay, the Turtle Farm, and Barkers National Park. The huge bay (it looks like a bay to me but I'm not a sailor)that bites into the island behind West End is North Sound. When is a bay a sound or vice versa? Many of the homes on the North Sound shores, stretching from Barkers to the narrowest part of the island, are gorgeous -- well worth the millions they cost. The most northerly point on the eastern end of the Sound is Rum Point and Cayman Kai. Stingray City and Sandbar lie out in the sound midway between Rum Point and Barkers. The journey from Rum Point to the West End by water is pretty short. However, on land it's quite a hike. Scan the map eastwards until you see the road heading north across the island, about two-thirds of the length of the island. Midway along that road, on your right as you head north, is the Queen Elizabeth Botanic Park. The road rejoins the coast road at Old Man Bay. The satellite images make it plain how relatively built-up the West End and center of the island is and how relatively quiet the East End is. The East End is pretty well everything to the right of the road.
